                &lt;STRONG&gt;In the fifth century A.D. a Black Buddhist sage by the name of Bodhidharma introduced martial arts  in China. Bodhidharma was born in 440 A.D. in Southern India in the Kingdom of Pallava.  Bodhidharma traveled to China bringing with him the ancient Indian Martial arts that was common in  Indian society. Bodhidharma taught monks breathing exercises based on the mystical power of chi  and Shaolin &lt;SPAN class="iltextstyle2"&gt;

                was born in China that later evolved into Karate in Japan and  Tae Kwon-do in Korea. In addition to teaching Karate Bodhidharma introduced Zen Buddhism the  most well know form of Buddhism in the world. Nichiren Daishonin founder of True Buddhism  debated Zen Buddhist.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;

The first inhabitants of England were Black Buddhist from India. Ancient British Historian Godfrey Higgins in his book the Anacalypsis explains Stonehenge to be a Black Buddhist Temple built by Black Buddhist from India. Read the Anacalypsis and learn all about Buddhist and Black Buddhist history.  Buddhist history is exciting.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/stonehenge/" rel="tag"&gt;stonehenge&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/busshism/" rel="tag"&gt;busshism&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/black/" rel="tag"&gt;black&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://proudblackbuddhist.org/Introduction_to_A_Black_Buddhis/Untitled_8.html</clipSource><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jan 2007 23:14:01 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Buddhas of the Past</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/5A1E38FA-62CA-4D43-8AF3-AB2DA6F3DBCD/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/ksmithii/"&gt;ksmithii&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  Notice the pheno-typical traits of these Buddhas.

  have been historically composed of an essentially homogenous population, the accumulated
  evidence places the matter in a vastly different light.  A Japanese proverb states
  that: "For a Samurai to be brave, he must have a bit of Black blood." 
  Another recording of the proverb is: "Half the blood in one's veins must be Black to
  make a good Samurai."  Sakanouye Tamura Maro, a Black man, became the first
  Shogun of Japan. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;In China, an Africoid presence is visible from remote antiquity.  The Shang, for
  example, China's first dynasts, are described as having "black and oily
  skin."  The famous Chinese sage Lao-Tze was "black in complexion."&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Funan is the name given by Chinese historians to the earliest kingdom of Southeast
  Asia.  Their records expressly state that, "For the complexion of men, they
  consider black the most beautiful.  In all the kingdoms of the southern region, it is
  the same."&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;The first kingdom in Vietnam was the Kingdom of Lin-yi.  Its inhabitants possessed
  "black skin, eyes deep in the orbit, nose turned up, hair frizzy at a period when
  they were not yet subject to foreign domination and preserved the purity of this
  type."&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;The fate of the Black kingdoms and the Black people of Far East Asia must be tied to
  increased pressure from non-Africoid peoples pushing down from northern Asia. 
  Indeed, the subject of what might be called "Black and Yellow racial and cultural
  relations in both ancient and modern times" is so critical that it must be developed
  as a special area of study.  It is of particular importance to African and
  African-oriented scholars and historians.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/africa/" rel="tag"&gt;africa&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/far+east/" rel="tag"&gt;far east&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/history/" rel="tag"&gt;history&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.cwo.com/%7elucumi/east.html</clipSource><pubDate>Sat, 06 Jan 2007 00:16:26 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
